Mourning the passing of Jeremy Giambi
Wednesday was a sad day in baseball, as former Phillie Jeremy Giambi died at his parents’ house at the age of 47.
Jeremy Giambi wasn’t in Philadelphia for very long, but he played the best baseball of his career with the Phillies. In 82 games with the team in 2002, he hit .244/.435/.538 with 12 home runs. He’ll be deeply missed by many people. Our thoughts go out to his family tonight.
